Way to go, Mr. Durden!
Also, I think the people in the NY Times article could benefit from the “routine” that is CrossFit.

After posting those articles I propose forthwith that we replace the putrefying liquid known as “Poland Springs Brand Natural Spring Water” with a more effective fluid replacement vehicle such as the wonderfully dark, sweet, nectar of the gods known as Guinness; the true Aqua Vitae. Not only will it quench our thirst more rapidly, replace calories spent, and renew our vigor through the restoration of our B vitamins but the taste is delightful as well! It may even make the exercising that much more enjoyable! If Guinness does not sufficiently sate your thirst or appease your tastes buds, then perchance another brew may be suggested.

Im all for the Guinness… Maybe it will help stop the lowering of weight in my back squat. Last total I hit 320, last night only 300 and failed at 305.

The Conch is tightly capped and sealed at one end and has a screw-in closure at the other to allow for ease of transport from location to location. Recognizing the screw-in closure, even with a couple layers of teflon tape, is the most likely leak point – especially when dropped and banged around in our special way – it should be stored with that end on high. Recognizing that as the builder I was probably one of the few who might think about this, I wrote “This End Up” on the screw-in end and “Down” on the other. Still, it’s being put away upside down…like a lot. And last night I found just a hint of a minor puddle on the floor under the cap. I’m not mad at y’all (it’s just water) but I think if the folks below start getting Eau de Box drizzled on them…well, it’s just going to be more trouble for all.
Option A is to re-teflon tape it (I think I left a roll there just for this) and continue to try to store it upright. Advantage is this lets us continue the adjust the amount of water within it or move it to other locations (parks, other gyms, new places) easily.
Option B is to say screw this screw cap thing and just seal-cap both ends after putting some amount of water in there. This would probably be done at The Box ’cause I’m not wobbling through the city with one of those pups. Advantages are little chance of leaking, sleeker look.
As I have a couple more of these in the pipeline (HAHAHA!), I am also asking here for advice on how to construct the other ones. Also this is a good time for feedback on the existing one for any changes/mods. Suggestions such as “Longer” or “Narrower” are fine while “Easier” and “Funner”, are not as easy to accommodate.

On another note, what do we think of the Ab-Roller?

looks like someone un-ate it for you, JuanGolia.
for today’s WOD my score was 118 if memory serves. was loving the 16-kg KB swings much more than the KTEs, and that was doing KTEs off of a box. can’t imagine how impossible they’d have been if i were jumping for the bar…
someday i will have strong forearms!

Good for you. I wish you all the luck!
